==In the games==
'''Iris''' (Japanese: '''アイリス''' ''Iris'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}. She was one of the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Opelucid City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Opelucid Gym]], giving out the {{badge|Legend}}, in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon White}}. Two years later, in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, she is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Unova]] [[region]]'s [[Unova League|Pokémon League]].
Iris appears in {{game|Black and White|s}}. In both versions, she shows up in [[Castelia City]] to aid the player, [[Burgh]], and [[Bianca]] when Bianca's Munna is stolen; during this time, she acts as Bianca's "bodyguard".


In {{game3|Black and White|White|s}}, she is the [[Gym Leader]] of Opelucid City's Gym. This Gym is the eighth to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Iris will receive the Legend Badge, along with {{TM|82|Dragon Tail}}. She also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where she and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]]. In the summer, she visits [[Cynthia]] at [[Undella Town]], as do the other female Gym Leaders and Elite Four members.

====Sprites====
In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Iris first appears in Castelia City, helping the player look for Team Plasma. She later reappears in Opelucid City but leaves shortly after meeting the player. Iris's primary role in these games is finally revealed to be that of the new {{pkmn|Champion}}, replacing [[Alder]]. After {{pkmn|training}} extensively under Drayden, she battled and defeated Alder after he retired as Champion, gaining the title for herself. As a gift for her victory, Drayden gave her new clothes to replace the ones he had given her after bringing her to Unova.

:Page: ''"That's right! We collect the hottest gossip about Gym Leaders seen around town! Here is today's letter. From someone going by the name Madame Scale. Thank yooou! 'I'm from Opelucid City, and I just went home for the first time in a long time. I saw [[Drayden]] and Iris counting up a big handful of coins! Isn't that setting a bad example for kids, flaunting your wealth like that?' Hmmm... That's living the high life! But you know, the Opelucid Gym Badge is shiny like a coin... Maybe you saw wrong? 'The National Gymquirer'! We eagerly await your letters!"''
* At Prime Pier
:''"I heard this lady's scream and ran after the thief as fast as I could. But this city is so big and so crowded... I'm afraid I lost them."''
:''"But that's so bad! Taking people's Pokémon is really bad! 'Cause it's really nice when people and Pokémon are together! They each have something the other doesn't, and they help each other!"''

Iris has also made notable appearances in one of the game's Main Stories, the PML Arc.

:''"But, but... The two heroes' sons started the battle again! And an instant later, Reshiram and Zekrom destroyed Unova with fire and lightning! Then, they disappeared! But, but... If people work with Pokémon in the right way, we don't have to worry anymore about the world being destroyed. I mean, Reshiram and Zekrom worked hard for everyone and made a new region!

Iris was a {{ashfr|traveling partner}} of [[Ash Ketchum]] for the duration of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. She was assigned to go on a {{pkmn|journey}} of growth and maturity, and she subsequently left her home in the [[Village of Dragons]] to raise an {{TP|Iris|Axew}} as well as achieve emotional growth herself. When she met Ash near [[Nuvema Town]], she allegedly decided to travel with him as a sort of guide since he was considered new to the [[Unova]] [[region]]. Eventually, she officially decided to accompany him after {{an|Cilan}} suggested the three of them should stick together. Her ultimate goal is to become a [[Type expert|Dragon Master]].

In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', it was revealed that she had become the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Unova League]], and took part in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]].

[[File:PS516.png|thumb|230px|Young Iris meeting Drayden]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
In this series, Iris is not the Gym Leader of the Opelucid Gym, but is simply the apprentice of [[Drayden]]. She originally lived in [[Blackthorn City]], also known as the [[Village of Dragons]], where she trained to become a master of Dragon-types. Much to Iris's chagrin, the {{OBP|Master|Dragon Tamer clan}} of the Dragon Tamer clan had Drayden come to take her to Unova so that he could tutor her. After arriving in Unova, Drayden introduced Iris to [[Alder]], who would also become her teacher and taught her about spirituality.
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Black & White}}=====
[[File:Iris Drayden Adventures.png|left|thumb|250px|Iris in Pokémon Adventures]]
Iris debuted in ''[[PS478|Big City Battles]]''. She first informed [[Burgh]] that {{adv|Black}} arrived to challenge his Gym. After accidentally insulting his newest art piece, Iris cheered Burgh up by complimenting the smell of honey on his body. Later, Iris took an unconscious {{adv|Bianca}} to the [[Castelia Gym]], where she revealed the girl was attacked and had her Pokémon stolen. With Black's detective abilities, the group found the thieves were [[Team Plasma]] and managed to retrieve all of the Pokémon they had stolen.


:''"{{m|Dragon Tail}} doesn't just do damage. It sends the other Pokémon back to its [[Poké Ball]], too! Ooh, hey! I wonder how Mister [[Alder]] is doing? I wonder if he's battling that Trainer called [[N]] in the [[Pokémon League]] right now? Do you know about the Pokémon League? It's past [[Victory Road (Black and White)|Victory Road]], at the end of {{rt|10|Unova}}!"''
In ''[[PS498|Decisions, Decisions]]'', Iris reunited with Black during his {{pkmn|training}} with [[Brycen]]. There, she revealed that she was training with Drayden to become a Dragon-type expert. Black found it hard to believe her claims, annoying Iris into requesting a battle with Drayden, only to be easily swatted away and defeated. Later, Drayden left to do his own business and told Iris to stay with Black for the duration of his training in hopes that she would learn from it as well. After Black finished his training and Gym battle with Brycen, Iris reluctantly informed him that the {{un|Pokémon League}}'s opening date had been pushed up from three months to a week.


* Post game:
The stress of potentially failing to enter in the League caused Black to panic and run away with Iris following after him. In ''[[PS508|The Lesson Ends Here]]'', Iris and Black found Alder battling {{adv|N}} on {{rt|6|Unova}}. Despite Alder's strength, he was eventually defeated.
:''"You've been on a journey and seen a lot of the world. I'm like that, too! I'm from way out in the country. I'm really happy that I've gotten to meet lots of different people and Pokémon!!"''


'''[[N's Castle]]'''
In ''[[PS512|Hallway Hijinks]]'', Iris competed in the Unova Pokémon League, eventually making it to the Top 8. To Black's surprise, Iris had already obtained all eight Gym Badges before their encounter during Black's training with Brycen. In ''[[PS514|The Tournament Continues]]'', Iris faced [[Zinzolin|Gray]] in the quarterfinals. Despite the type advantage his {{p|Cryogonal}} had, Iris's {{p|Fraxure}} managed to defeat it with a powerful {{m|Rock Smash}}, allowing Iris to advance to the next round. In ''[[PS516|One Way or Another]]'', Iris faced Black in the semifinals. Though she was determined to defeat N and avenge Alder, Iris's newly-evolved {{p|Haxorus}} was defeated by Black's [[Costa]], eliminating her from the tournament. Black assured Iris that he shared her goal and promised to take down N and Team Plasma.

'''[[Cynthia]]'s villa'''
In ''[[PS520|Cold Hard Truth]]'', Team Plasma launched their attack on the Pokémon League by summoning [[N's Castle]] from the depths of the earth. The castle surrounded the League building while several {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s emerged and cornered everyone. Iris and Drayden worked together to protect innocent bystanders from the Grunts. After Team Plasma was defeated, Iris and the others watched as N and {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Zekrom}} flew off to parts unknown.
:''"Oh, hey! Did you see [[Cynthia's Garchomp]]? It's too cute!"''

====={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}=====
:''"Sometimes I think about the village where I was born, but I'm totally OK! Because I met lots of Pokémon--and all of you!"''
In ''[[PS526|Mr. Perfect]]'', Drayden revealed that he made Iris Leader of the [[Opelucid Gym]] so he could focus on dealing with Team Plasma's resurgence.
:''"Look! Look! It's the ocean!"''
:''"The ocean is so pretty. I love it! So I stayed underwater a long time. I made everyone worry!"''


'''Badge Case (White only)'''
In ''[[PS545|Deduction Time]]'', Iris, Alder, and [[Gorm]] worked together to break out of the [[White Treehollow]], which had been frozen solid by the [[Plasma Frigate]], in the process revealing that Iris had succeeded Alder as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Unova. In ''[[PS546|Giant Chasm]]'', Iris and Gorm met Black, {{adv|White}}, {{adv|Blake}}, and {{adv|Whitley}} at the [[Giant Chasm]]. She revealed that during the past two years, she had regathered the eight Badges, challenged the [[Elite Four]], and trained with Alder, N, Gorm, and [[Benga]] at the White Treehollow. She had managed to defeat both Alder and N, proving herself worthy of becoming the new Champion. Hearing this, Black swore to defeat Iris one day. The group was then attacked by [[Colress]], who told {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}} to freeze the surrounding area. When Kyurem stopped listening to Colress, [[Rood]] appeared, revealing his allies used a machine to disrupt the [[Colress Machine]]'s effect. With Team Plasma's influence on it severed, Kyurem began rampaging, first releasing the [[Dark Stone]] before absorbing Reshiram to become White Kyurem. While Iris, Black, and White fought Kyurem, Blake chased after Colress while Whitley went to the Plasma Frigate to rescue N, who was held captive aboard the vessel.
:''Know what? You were very strong! I'll never forget you, ever!''


===National Gymquirer===
In ''[[PS547|The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition]]'', an explosion tore the Plasma Frigate apart, causing it to fall. After preventing a large amount of liberated Pokémon from plummeting towards the ground, Kyurem separated itself from Reshiram before leaving. Iris, Black, and White rode on Reshiram's back to chase after the ship, which eventually crashed into the abandoned N's Castle, setting the building on fire and putting the Pokémon Team Plasma left behind at risk. Black and the others combined the might of {{m|Fire Pledge|Fire}}, {{m|Water Pledge|Water}}, and {{m|Grass Pledge}}, successfully dousing the flames.

Iris (Japanese: アイリス Iris) is a Dragon-type Trainer. She was one of the Gym Leaders of Opelucid City's Gym, known officially as the Opelucid Gym, giving out the Legend Badge, in Pokémon White. Two years later, in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, she is the Champion of the Unova region's Pokémon League.

In the core series games

Iris appears in Pokémon Black and White. In both versions, she shows up in Castelia City to aid the player, Burgh, and Bianca when Bianca's Munna is stolen. During this time, she acts as Bianca's bodyguard.

In White, she is also revealed to be the Gym Leader of Opelucid City's Gym, which is the eighth to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Iris will receive the Legend Badge, along with TM82 (Dragon Tail). She reappears at N's Castle where she and the other Unova Gym Leaders hold off the Seven Sages. During summer, she also visits Cynthia at Caitlin's villa in Undella Town, as do the other female Gym Leaders.

In Black, after defeating the Pokémon League, she will teach Draco Meteor to the player's Dragon-type Pokémon if they have full friendship. She can be found on the first floor of Drayden's home in Opelucid City.

In Black 2 and White 2, Iris first appears in Castelia City, helping the player look for Team Plasma. She later reappears in Opelucid City but leaves shortly after meeting the player. Iris's primary role in these games is finally revealed to be that of the new Champion, replacing Alder. After training extensively under Drayden, she battled and defeated Alder after he retired as Champion, gaining the title for herself. As a gift for her victory, Drayden gave her new clothes to replace the ones he had given her after bringing her to Unova.

Iris was a traveling partner of Ash Ketchum for the duration of Pokémon the Series: Black & White. She was assigned to go on a journey of growth and maturity, and she subsequently left her home in the Village of Dragons to raise an Axew as well as achieve emotional growth herself. When she met Ash near Nuvema Town, she allegedly decided to travel with him as a sort of guide since he was considered new to the Unova region. Eventually, she officially decided to accompany him after Cilan suggested the three of them should stick together. Her ultimate goal is to become a Dragon Master.

In Pokémon Journeys: The Series, it was revealed that she had become the Champion of the Unova League, and took part in the Masters Eight Tournament.

Young Iris meeting Drayden

Pokémon Adventures

In this series, Iris is not the Gym Leader of the Opelucid Gym, but is simply the apprentice of Drayden. She originally lived in Blackthorn City, also known as the Village of Dragons, where she trained to become a master of Dragon-types. Much to Iris's chagrin, the Master of the Dragon Tamer clan had Drayden come to take her to Unova so that he could tutor her. After arriving in Unova, Drayden introduced Iris to Alder, who would also become her teacher and taught her about spirituality.

History

Black & White arc
Iris in Pokémon Adventures

Iris debuted in Big City Battles. She first informed Burgh that Black arrived to challenge his Gym. After accidentally insulting his newest art piece, Iris cheered Burgh up by complimenting the smell of honey on his body. Later, Iris took an unconscious Bianca to the Castelia Gym, where she revealed the girl was attacked and had her Pokémon stolen. With Black's detective abilities, the group found the thieves were Team Plasma and managed to retrieve all of the Pokémon they had stolen.

In Decisions, Decisions, Iris reunited with Black during his training with Brycen. There, she revealed that she was training with Drayden to become a Dragon-type expert. Black found it hard to believe her claims, annoying Iris into requesting a battle with Drayden, only to be easily swatted away and defeated. Later, Drayden left to do his own business and told Iris to stay with Black for the duration of his training in hopes that she would learn from it as well. After Black finished his training and Gym battle with Brycen, Iris reluctantly informed him that the Pokémon League's opening date had been pushed up from three months to a week.

The stress of potentially failing to enter in the League caused Black to panic and run away with Iris following after him. In The Lesson Ends Here, Iris and Black found Alder battling N on Route 6. Despite Alder's strength, he was eventually defeated.

In Hallway Hijinks, Iris competed in the Unova Pokémon League, eventually making it to the Top 8. To Black's surprise, Iris had already obtained all eight Gym Badges before their encounter during Black's training with Brycen. In The Tournament Continues, Iris faced Gray in the quarterfinals. Despite the type advantage his Cryogonal had, Iris's Fraxure managed to defeat it with a powerful Rock Smash, allowing Iris to advance to the next round. In One Way or Another, Iris faced Black in the semifinals. Though she was determined to defeat N and avenge Alder, Iris's newly-evolved Haxorus was defeated by Black's Costa, eliminating her from the tournament. Black assured Iris that he shared her goal and promised to take down N and Team Plasma.

In Cold Hard Truth, Team Plasma launched their attack on the Pokémon League by summoning N's Castle from the depths of the earth. The castle surrounded the League building while several Team Plasma Grunts emerged and cornered everyone. Iris and Drayden worked together to protect innocent bystanders from the Grunts. After Team Plasma was defeated, Iris and the others watched as N and Zekrom flew off to parts unknown.

Iris in the eleventh chapter
Black 2 & White 2 arc

In Mr. Perfect, Drayden revealed that he made Iris Leader of the Opelucid Gym so he could focus on dealing with Team Plasma's resurgence.

In Deduction Time, Iris, Alder, and Gorm worked together to break out of the White Treehollow, which had been frozen solid by the Plasma Frigate, in the process revealing that Iris had succeeded Alder as the Champion of Unova. In Giant Chasm, Iris and Gorm met Black, White, Blake, and Whitley at the Giant Chasm. She revealed that during the past two years, she had regathered the eight Badges, challenged the Elite Four, and trained with Alder, N, Gorm, and Benga at the White Treehollow. She had managed to defeat both Alder and N, proving herself worthy of becoming the new Champion. Hearing this, Black swore to defeat Iris one day. The group was then attacked by Colress, who told Kyurem to freeze the surrounding area. When Kyurem stopped listening to Colress, Rood appeared, revealing his allies used a machine to disrupt the Colress Machine's effect. With Team Plasma's influence on it severed, Kyurem began rampaging, first releasing the Dark Stone before absorbing Reshiram to become White Kyurem. While Iris, Black, and White fought Kyurem, Blake chased after Colress while Whitley went to the Plasma Frigate to rescue N, who was held captive aboard the vessel.

In The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition, an explosion tore the Plasma Frigate apart, causing it to fall. After preventing a large amount of liberated Pokémon from plummeting towards the ground, Kyurem separated itself from Reshiram before leaving. Iris, Black, and White rode on Reshiram's back to chase after the ship, which eventually crashed into the abandoned N's Castle, setting the building on fire and putting the Pokémon Team Plasma left behind at risk. Black and the others combined the might of Fire, Water, and Grass Pledge, successfully dousing the flames.

In Epilogue: Graduation Ceremony, Iris attended the Aspertia City Trainers' School graduation ceremony, where she watched the students graduate.

  • Iris's Japanese Leader title is 竜の心を　知る　娘.
  • In Black and White, the only differences between Iris and Drayden's teams are the genders of their Pokémon and their Druddigon's and Haxorus's Abilities: Iris has an all-female team and her Druddigon has Sheer Force and her Haxorus has Mold Breaker, while Drayden has an all-male team and his Druddigon has Rough Skin and his Haxorus has Rivalry.
    • In White, Iris's Druddigon has no moves that take advantage of Sheer Force.
  • Iris and Clair are both female Gym Leaders that train Dragon-type Pokémon. Additionally, they are both the eighth Gym Leader the player challenges in Unova and Johto, respectively.
  • Iris is the first Champion to keep her Japanese name.
  • Iris is the only Unova Gym Leader in Black and White who does not have a secondary occupation.
  • Iris considers Drayden to be her grandfather despite the two of them not being biologically related, affectionately referring to him as "Grandpa."
  • Iris is the only Champion prior to Generation VI to not participate in the Pokémon World Tournament.
  • Iris is the first character in any core series game to have a full-body challenge sprite.
  • Iris is the only Champion to not use any Pokémon that evolve from ones that take 20 egg cycles to hatch, with the lowest being 30 (for Druddigon and Archeops).
  • In her Black and White artwork, the pattern of the soles of her sneakers resembles a dragon paw.
